-COMB|NED RAZOR STROP AND DRAWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,260, dated October 23, 1883.

Application filed August 18,1883. (No model.)

.T aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOWARD B. EMERSON,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Charlestown, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Razor Strop and Drawer, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in razor-strops, with especial reference to the strop for which a patent was granted to me January 10, 1882, N 0. 252,199 and the invention consists in constructing the strop so as to contain a drawer for holding a razor, in connection with a flexible band on one side anda flat or curved finishing-surface on the opposite side, and between these two are narrow hone-surfaces.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a strop embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the liner x of Fig. 2.

A represents a block forming the body of the strop, and made of wood.

G is a plate of thin sheet metal fitted to slide in a recess in the block A.

I is a screw attached to the handle K, and passes through a hole in the upright portion of the plate G, the latter being bent at right angles, as shown.

In the block A is cut a recess extending from the end of the strop opposite the handle to any desired point toward the handle, as indicated in Fig. 2. Over this recess is fastened a thin 5 strip of wood, N, and in this space thus formed is placed a drawer, M, for holding a razor, as

2. The sides 0 D are hone-surfaces, which 5 may be added or not, as desired.

By means of this construction I am enabled to utilize the strop as a razor-holder without materially adding to the bulk of the strop, and thus adding greatly to the convenience of the user.

What I claim as my invention is As a new article of manufacture, a razorstrop consisting of a block or body, A, a drawer, M, a finishing-surface, B, a flexible strap, F, an angular movable plate, G, screw I, and handle K, and with or without the honesurfaces 0 D, all as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HOWARD l3. EMERSON.
